Dobbs quit his CNN talk show Wednesday night, declaring he would be exploring other options. Look for the once-serious business reporter/turned loudmouth advocate to land on another cable network that will allow him to add his opinion to the many others who spout theirs over the air.

Glenn Beck did a brief tour of duty on CNN before bolting to the Fox News Channel, where he has become a force of nature, a phenomenon, a mega-star. My hunch is that Dobbs will follow suit.

I’m not yet ready to predict he’ll end up on Fox, although his rants against illegal immigration fit right in with the channel’s own political agenda.

For the record, I don’t disagree with Dobbs’ view that we need to put a stop to the flood of illegal immigrants. But also for the record, I liked Dobbs a lot better when he was just reporting the news before he underwent an extreme makeover — and emerged as yet another opinionated blowhard.
